Hello, folks. Welcome to the WOOP podcast. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of WOOP,

where we are on a mission to unlock human performance. That's right. We build wearable technology

that measures everything about the human body, strain, recovery, sleep. We work with you to improve your

body. More recently, we capture a data point called respiratory rate, which has been shown to be

predictive in this world of COVID-19. So you can check out prior podcasts we've done on respiratory rate, COVID-19, and all the research related to that.

You can use the code Will Ahmed, that's W-I-L-L-H-M-E-D, for 15% off a WOOP membership.

We have a really fascinating episode for you this week.

Whoop CTO and co-founder John Capilupo sits down with Jackson Blighton, who's had a career

you never would have guessed existed. He is both a professional video game player and a professional

bodybuilder that is quite the hybrid. Jackson is one of the most popular video game streamers

on the planet and is better known as Bajira in the gaming world. Each day, thousands of people tune in to watch Jackson play

World of Warcraft, which remains one of the most popular games on the market more than 15 years

after its release. Capo, our CTO, is also quite a gamer, quite a World of Warcraft player, and thousands tune in to watch Jackson broadcast his workouts every day.

He's turned a passion for weightlifting really into a championship-winning natural bodybuilding career.

And he shares his training knowledge with his audience through streaming.

Without further ado, here is Jackson.

So I'd like to welcome Jackson, Bajira Blighton, to the WooP podcast today.

Jackson is a professional natural bodybuilder, a video game streamer, and rank one warrior in World Warcraft.

And we're here to talk about this unique career path and how he optimizes his performance.

Jackson, welcome to the podcast.

You know, thanks so much for having me.

That, when you string all those achievements together, pumps me up nicely.
